They She He easy as ABC

<p><strong>Inclusive pronouns are learned alongside the alphabet in this joyously illustrated take on the classic ABC book.</strong></p><p><em>They She He easy as ABC</em> shows that including everyone is all part of the dance. It’s easy. It’s fundamental. As the dance begins the kids proclaim <em>“No one left out and everyone free”</em> in a sing-song rhyme about inclusion. This sets the stage for readers to meet 26 kids showing us their dance moves.</p><p>“<em><strong>A</strong>ri loves to arabesque.</em><em> <em><u>They</u> hold their pose with ease. </em></em><br /><em><strong>B</strong>rody is a break dancer. <u>Brody</u> loves to freeze.”</em><em> </em></p><p>Fast-paced rhyming keeps the flow of text upbeat and rhythmic and naturally models how to use a wide range of pronouns. There’s no room for stereotypes on THIS dance floor with spirited imagery that keeps names clothes hair and behavior fresh and diverse. The combination creates a playful and effortless practice to expand ideas about gender while learning the alphabet and makes being inclusive as easy as A-B-C.</p><p>This book continues the work started in <em>They She He Me: Free to Be!</em> also by Maya & Matthew and what School Library Journal called “<em>a gorgeous and much-needed picture book about pronouns and gender fluidity.”</em> Both books provide a way to build on gender inclusive practices and help interrupt the formalization of gender stereotypes and assumptions. </p>
